your breath for.
I went to see the new "imagining" of Star Trek the other nights.
There
might be some spoilers, I have no idea what I'm about to write, now
do
I.
Good things:
-Leonard Nemoy
-Explosions, lots and lots of them.
-Simon Pegg as Scottie
-Uhuru, praise the lord for that woman.
-Romulans, I love those pointy eared, sneaky bastards. They are my
favourite Star Trek alien by far.
-I didn't want to punch any of the actors in the face for ruining
Star
Trek.
-I have no idea how long the film was, it went by in a flash.
Bad things:
-My feet were killing me from walking around all day when I went to
see it. But I can hardly blame JJ Abrams for that, or can I.
10/10 for being Star Trek, 9/10 for being a well rounded film, 11/10
for things exploding.
Go see it!

Clearly.

He was good. Funny that they let him be in it but not Shatner. I guess
Nimoy was a whole lot less of a giant melodramatic boofhead about it.
But that's just, you know, my guess.

Agreed.

He was good too. I could tell he was loving every opportunity to
deliver Scotty lines like "I canna give it any more power!".

She's come a long way from smacking Captain Jack Sparrow inna face.

Yeah, these were funky ones but they are generally fun. They were cool
in the Original Series too.

Ha! Agreed.

You know what would have been cool? He could have filmed it "Lost"-
style. Intercut an episode of the Original Series, zoom in on each
character and then show their scenes in flashback-format.

I thought it was easily the best Star Trek movie yet, but it does tend
to stand apart from the others. All the other movies had some
connection to the TV shows that were contemporary to them, but this
one had no real connection apart from the character names and the
funny dinner-plate spaceships.
Definitely cool, but hard to judge as a Trek film. I don't know quite
what to think about that.

Just in case you haven't seen it. Hee hee.

I want to see it again.
Interested in seeing how they reconcile this new timeline with the
rest of the movies and episodes. If at all.
I guess the Trek show is over, so no worries there.

Not sure I'd go as far as the Onion-interviewed fans ... but there was
a certain disconnect. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing though. It's
long since time the Trek movies broke their curse and got on with good
movies. Maybe this was the only way.

Lot's of good action scenes and the actors were good in their
characterizations.

But these had no head ridges like the other movies...they're as different
from the other depictions of Romulans as the Klingons were from the original
series.

Not sure I agree that this was the best of the lot...I was a little
disappointed in the plot that left everything in an alternate timeline. For
those of you that like Romulans, I still think the best Romulan plotline was
the one from the original series with Mark Lenard as the Romulan Commander
(take off of a classic WWII submarine movie).
I did like the movie, but I didn't come out of it with a WOW like I did with
Ironman last year...maybe I will with Transformers 2 (trailers look really
good).

Well, they might have had faint ones that were hidden by their
headtats. Or they might have been a certain race/class of Romulan with
lesser ridges. Not all humans have the same-shaped heads.
I thought they did have some sort of brow-ridging.

You kiddin'? I was terrified at the end that they were going to
somehow reset everything.
How often do you get a bad guy who actually manages to succeed in his
plot, and still lose in the end? Bruce banner imploded motherfuckin'
Vulcan! I say, screw the old timeline!

Yeah, it'll be BST-ey but I'm really not expecting anything beyond
special effects. That's the mindset to go into with these movies. If
they can turn planes and cars into giant motherfuckin' robots, I'll be
happy. The rest is just a bonus.

They are the only culture to remain cool during all the incarnations
of Star Trek. The Klingons lost all there mystique a long time ago,
the Cardasians were never cool and the Dominion were just annoying.

I don't think they will make any attempt to reconcile the timelines,
in fact I think they made it quite clear there's no way they can.

I think it was time to do something completly off the wall or give up
making Trek films altogether. I'm delighted the way they went.

That was good alright. The only time I can recall not liking a Romulan
was the blonde one, she was half human though.

Ironman? Are you serious? That film was terrible. Yeah the BST's
exploded and what not, but the acting and plot were piss poor.

She was the female pirate who they signed onto the crew, in spite of
it being bad luck. Sparrow stole her last ship, and Will offers her
the Interceptor in return for her loyalty. Of course if you hated the
movies, not much of what I just said will make sense. She slaps
Sparrow, though.

That's true. Never really thought of it that way. Even when they were
sort of friends, they were cool. Although they were basically just
Vulcans with an in-universe excuse for being evil bastards.

Even when they were friends in DS9, I was always waiting for them to
turn evil again. Which kind of happened in Nemisis.

I've heard several people complain about this movie now, I thought
most of the complaints were jokes. Mainly because the first
"complaints" I heard were in the form of a humourous Onion story, and
then the second "complaints" were from Contro, who hadn't seen the
movie.
That does tend to get you started in a surreal frame of mind.

Now we have finished watching Season Three of the Original Series of
Star Trek. It's all very sad. Although the pilot episode was added as
an extra, it was funny to see Captain Pike and his First Officer Majel
Barret and a bizarre shouting, laughing Spock as ... I don't know,
some sort of science officer.

Actually, have to admit we didn't go yet. But I want to.
Sadly, movies are just too expensive and time too short to see many
things more than once on the big screen these days. Have to save up
for "Transformers 2".

Transformers 2? Thats one summer blockbuster I will be going nowhere
near.
The new Terminator is out this week though, I am looking forward to a

It had its moments. Eric Bana among them.
Con the Fruiterer (which was the dude I thought you were talking about
before you told me it was a Bana character), for example, was not
among them.

Robots fight. Plot makes no sense. BSTs aplenty. Kabooms. Shooty bang!
Megan Fox semi-clothed.
All in all, a perfect movie.

Heh, we saw it the other day. There was a mass of nonsensical plot in
there, wasn't there? One wonders when, and why, Decepticons became
able to flawlessly imitate slightly over-sexed college students.
The Jesus was great as ever, and the BSTs and boomyzangs were fun. Was
it just my imagination, or were the chick's lips bigger and puffier in
this movie? I generally don't worry so much about that, but this time
I'm with Janica on this whole issue. They got too much screen time.
She just looked goofy. I thought she was meant to be a sort of
semi-useful addition to the plot who could do stuff. She mainly just
sat around.
Meh. It wasn't up to the first film, but it was a fun sequel.

They're like The Dark One; they have to observe from a stupidly
planned distance before they can ascertain the sureness of their
accuracy of intellectual foresight.

Absolutely! Walked out with a friend, and he said "I think they jumped
the shark when they started climbing pyramids."
Jumping the shark in a movie like Transformers is as ridiculous as
asking for a movie about giant fighting robots to be a mediation on
electronic sentience.

Janica's sensitised me to that shit.
But seriously, there was nothing really wrong with her lips in the
first movie, that I recall. This time, it looked like she'd inherited
some sort of nasty X-Men mutation, where she turned into that giant
liver-fluke guy from the X-Files.
Hmm. X-Men, X-Files. Hmm.

To clarify - The Dark One's intentions don't make any sense. He's
supposed to be the Counterpoint to The Light, but he lets an Aes Sedai
and a Warder interrupt his plans? Why didn't he send minions to The
Two Rivers a bit earlier? It's as though his plan is all about fucking
with Randlanders, rather than about y'know - making sure Rand al'Jesus
gets lanced through the stomach.

The Dark One at least I can understand. He's done what He could with
the tools He was given, and at the start His grip on the world was
pretty weak.
Still don't understand why He resurrected Ishamael so many times,
though. That's just weird.

Yeah, but I thought the general idea was that this was all instigated
by Ishamael. Not the Dark One Himself.
And before you try to tell me we were talking about Ishamael and not
the Dark One, no. We were talking about the Dark One.

See, that's not the impression ever conveyed to me in my readings of
the books. After all, The Dark One is supposedly to be something akin
to Malazan's Crippled God but more powerful due to, well, the fact
that he's the Anti-Light. Whatever he might be, the fact that he'd be
weak enough to act without instigating anything seems hard to swallow.
I can believe Ishamael acting somewhat of his own accord due to being
(if memory serves) not nearly as witless as the rest of the Foresaken,
but even then, it's hard to believe the Dark One wasn't acting upon
Ishamael in some way.
Or it could just be sloppy planning by Jordan. After all, he gave the
world Taimandretards.

It was basically a mash up of 80's plot references from the cartoon. And the
Decepticon's being able to imitate a Human was a nod to the Beast wars and
their ability to mimic Anmals.

Rumours have being going around since the 90's that the US Navy had
developed Rail guns. They were supposedly trying to make them man portable,
but the tech only worked on large scale weapons. So they supposedly mounted
them on a few battleships.That's just one of those rumours though. Urban
Myth, Whatever.

Okay, but you're re-reading the books. The Ba'alzamon character who is
doing everything, that is Ishamael posing as the Dark One.
It may or may not have been *meant* to be the Dark One, back when
Jordan thought this was going to be one, and then three books in
length. But it was ultimately Ishamael, who was partially trapped and
therefore partially able to do stuff. Even if that stuff was mostly,
you know, a giant fuck up.
The Dark One was (and still is) almost entirely trapped, and unable to
do anything at all. Later on, He talks to the Forsaken but that's
about it. Then comes the freezing of the seasons, the bubbles of evil,
and Shadar Haran.
>I can believe Ishamael acting somewhat of his own accord due to being

I think he's worse than most of them, on account of being insane.
>but even then, it's hard to believe the Dark One wasn't acting upon
>Ishamael in some way.
Given that Ishamael was still partly trapped, and the place he and the
other Forsaken were trapped was the Bore, and the Bore was a hole dug
into the Dark One's prison, and the Dark One is the reason Ishamael
was insane in the first place, I'd say you're right on the rather
obvious money there.

Let's face it. If America had rail gus, they would have blown up a
British helicopter or a school with them by now.

More ther Decepticon who switched sides, Although I think ti was the
Dinobots in the cartoon, Optimus prime Getting killled and later being
resurrected by the Matrix of Leadership. and the awesomeness of the
constructicons.

No that was the 80's cartoon again, back then Soundwave was a Cassette
playing Ghetto blaster who had to spies shaped as Tapes who transformed into
a Cat and a Bat. Personally I think the satelite Soundwave was way cooler.

Probably did. I think if you look real close at the 9/11 footage you can see
a rail gun shot hitting the first tower and they just CGI'd a Plane in to
that footage while they quickly scrambled another Passenger aircraft and
flew that into the second one.

Is there any understanding of when The Dark One actually begins to
actively act upon the world to the same extent as Ishamael?

See, that's what it seems like at this point (half-way through The
Great Hunt) that - at least as presented in the book - that it's The
Dark One acting somehow. I get the impression that maybe Jordan later
switched his mind and decided to have it be Ishamael that was causing
all this ruckus, and not The Dark One. At least, it seems that way.
Or at the very least, Ishamael was so mad he may have actually taken
to thinking he was The Dark One or The Dark One Personified, somehow,
just like all the religious loons out there who think they're the
prophet expected by the Jews or Christ Reborn or somesuch shit. To
make an easy analogy, you understand.

That I remember. Though I gotta ask: the wind that pushes Rand when
he's training with Lan up in Fal Dara in the beginning of The Great
Hunt - is that some sort of predecessor to the bubbles of evil? I
can't remember if that ever gets an explanation by Jordan.

He's insane? Shows how much I remember about the books. But then, he
doesn't really - again, at the half-way point of TGH - come across as
anything other than an annoying spectre that haunts Rand's dreams.

We were talking about The Dark One. Look, the last post was about two
weeks ago (sorry - work and life, y'know?) and I'm still on-topic. Eat

This one's easy; as Lord of the Grave, if he doesn't resurrect him, he has
to listen to him rave and babble up close. If he resurrects him, Ishy goes
out and wanders up and down the earth and to and fro in it and monologues
to the folks THERE.

But the Dark Lord can project thoughts directly into their skull (they
must have great cricket reception!), so what's to say the Dark Lord
can't hear all their annoying monologues?

But only at or right near Shayol Ghul, notice. So logically the DL can only
_hear_ them from the real world there too. (Otherwise they'd never be able
to plot and plan and scheme against each other and sometimes him, right, cuz
the DL would interrupt in their T'a'R rooms or in whoever's palace they'd
gather in and say "STOP THAT, YOU'VE ALREADY GOT YOUR ORDERS, GET GOING"?)
>so what's to say the Dark Lord can't hear all their annoying monologues?
Well, that's my point; if he's dead, he's in there WITH the DL. If he's
alive, the DL can send him away-away and not have to listen, and get on
with watching his soaps.
(One more day, by the way...)

Hm, you make a good point. There must be more annoying nutbags around
that He wouldn't want to talk to, though. He should be resurrecting
everyone.
Then again, not many people die in Chaggabaggawoggaland, do they?

Heh, He'd have won a long time ago if He just had more staying power.
After a while, they'd all be dead and He could do whatever He liked to
the Pattern.
Instead, He gets the shits with them and lets them get reborn, which
ruins everything.
We see more of His impatience when it comes to the Forsaken. They
fail, and He kills them. Then He brings them back. Then He tortures
them for some reason. Classic AD/HD.
